If Spring Awakening got a sit-down production, that would basically make my life.
And that is why I believe it won't ever happen. I'll never get that lucky.

What is a sitdown performance?

Posted: 6/8/08 at 11:31pmHaha, I used to think a sit-down production was like... just a read-through of sorts without costumes or sets. Then somebody set me straight on that.

I totally agree that some venues (e.g. Ahmanson in Los Angeles) are inappropriate for SA. It needs a smaller theater to maintain the intimacy of the show and to be able to see the facial expressions of the players.
As for a sit-down in Chicago, I think it's possible, even if it's not as long as Wicked, or even Jersey Boys. We get so many great shows that were hugely popular on Broadway, and surely there are venues that it could work well in. Maybe not the Ford, but perhaps the Oriental? If SA came for a sit-down in Chicago I would be in raptures as well!

Posted: 6/9/08 at 12:23amSeriously if there was a Chicago sit-down production, I would drive the 3 hours like once a month to see it. Bring Emma Hunton and Christine Estabrook and I'll be there twice a month.

Posted: 6/9/08 at 12:28amOH Gotcha! Thanks guys! Are there still possibilities of those happening (IN BOSTON =D) and when would we find out?

There will not be a Spring Awakening sit down in Chicago.
Xanadu will be having an extended run beginning this fall and Mary Poppins making a long debut next March. Spring Awakening will keep to short stops in bigger cities, banking on their Tony wins as the ticket seller. The producers still don't know how the show is going to fare in some cities. It'll be interesting. . .

The Hippodrome in Baltimore is just about the worst venue I can think of for this show. The rear balcony is so high that even Wicked got lost up there.
That said, when I saw SA a year ago, there were some facial expressions that I would like not to have seen.
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what?
The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

SA will be in Los Angeles for about 6-7 weeks before heading to the frozen tundra...er...midwest, in January/February. I've already told my son who saw it with me last week that we're going to Lansing...and probably St. Louis. Definitely to Louisville, KY in June (but only if Kyle and Blake are still with the show). I AM a total FanGirl. LOL! And proud of it.
**editing to fix the L.A. dates (sorry! :P )

"SA will be in Los Angeles for almost 3 months before heading to the frozen tundra...er...midwest, in January/February."
Hey...thank goodness its actually coming to MN, the closest state to ND to see the tour, I don't live anywhere near LA or NYC so I'm glad it'll be in the midwest for a little while. And don't feel bad, it is a frozen tundra, I feel bad for the cast!

Spring Awakening is going to be in LA form Oct 29 to Dec 7. That's only a little over 1 month.

Oh, the cast will have my total sympathy. Maybe we should bring them scarfs and hats instead of flowers on opening night.
Sorry about the LA date mixup. It's not 3 months, it's more like 1.5 months. It's interesting to me that they are going to so many small towns, kind of rural towns, for such a bold play with very mature themes. Hopefully people will open their minds to the message and the music.

Posted: 6/9/08 at 8:59pmPlus they go to AZ, TX, FL, before going to the midwest.

Posted: 6/9/08 at 9:28pmI can't wait till they come to the midwest! I will be seeing the show in St. Louis.

If Blake Bashoff is in the tour, I think I might actually see it more than twice. More than once is because Kyle Riabko is in it...and he's been one of my favorite singers.
This is great. But then not at the same time.

Posted: 6/11/08 at 7:08pmWe get it for a whole month, so if I get a new job by then I will probs take the subway in and see it every weekend with different friends who wanna see it.

I wonder how they plan to sell the stage seats. Advance sales thru ticketmaster/box office, rush or lottery?
I'll probably see it around 5x if a sitdown in SF materializes.
Same goes for Wicked.
